Welcome to Rod 'N Real

King Salmon

No other river on earth produces the numbers of native King Salmon averaging 30 to 60 pounds, and only the Kenai River gives anglers the opportunity to land a trophy of 70 to 90 pounds every year.

Silver Salmon

Well known for their acrobatic leaps and sizzling runs, Silver Salmon are available on the Kenai Peninsula from July 20 to October every year. Fished with light tackle, Silver Salmon can be caught using a variety of techniques, depending on which body of water you are fishing. Ranging in weight from 8 to 22 lbs, Silver “Coho” Salmon are reputed to be the most aggressive of all Salmon species. 

Halibut

You can test your fishing skills against these “barn doors” aboard one of our 30’ saltwater fishing vessels, custom built specifically for Alaskan waters. We fish a maximum of 6 guests per boat, with a highly experienced skipper and deckhand, ensuring you of a safe and highest quality adventure.

Sockeye Salmon

Kenai, Kasilof, & Russian River Sockeye: Kenai River boasts 2 Sockeye Salmon runs. The early run enters the Kenai River the last week of May and shows up at the confluence of the Russian River around June 12 each year, and lasts until about July 4th  

Trout

World renowned for Native Rainbow Trout in the 22 to 34 inch class, the Kenai River is home to some of the best Rainbow Trout fishing in the world. Many Rod N Real Charter guests return from a day fishing Rainbows with reports of 20, 30, and even 40 fish per rod.

Pink Salmon

One of the most numerous of Pacific Salmon, Pinks (also known as  Humpy's) pour into the Kenai River by the thousands every even numbered year during the month of August.  One of the most prolific biters of all Salmon, it is hard to keep these smaller salmon off your hook while fishing for the larger Silver Salmon.  

Ling Cod

Most Ling Cod are found around rocky reefs and under water pinnacles, where we typically fish jigs and small baits on light tackle. It’s not unusual to have several Ling Cod hooked up at the same time. Most Ling’s caught are in the 20-40 pound range, with several tipping the scales at over 55 lbs each year.
